The oil is coming from the pcv system in the car. The hoses that run from the block and head to the intake. It was oil vapor and when it cools, it turns back to oil and pools in the intercooler. Its normal. If you cracked the intercooler (sounds hard to do) then it has to be replaced since you can make pressure with a big hole in the system and your car will be fine.

do you have the 180hp or 225hp, cuz the 225s are twin intercooled, both in front of each tire
